HIPAA and What it Means to You

A new federal law known as HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996) mandates that all covered entities comply with regulations concerning the privacy and confidentiality of protected health information. A covered entity is any healthcare provider (doctors, dentists, hospitals, etc.), healthcare clearinghouses, and health plans. As a covered entity, Wise Health Surgical Hospital / Wise Health System is committed to obeying the law and respecting your privacy.

Compliance with HIPAA was required by April 14, 2003. As of that date, all patients should receive a copy of the hospital’s Notice of Privacy Practices on their first admission. This document explains how your protected health information may be used by the hospital in conjunction with the law as well as your rights with regards to your private health information.

If you have any questions concerning our privacy practices, or if you feel Wise Health Surgical Hospital has violated your privacy, please contact your nurse or the Wise Health System Privacy Officer at (940) 627-5921. You may file a complaint with the Secretary of Health and Human Services if you believe the law has been violated.
